Selling an unwanted gift?
We've made a small, temporary tweak to the Sell process in preparation for Boxing Day.
Each year from Boxing Day we see lots of people visit the site looking for bargains among the Christmas presents that have missed the mark. We want to make these items easier to list and for buyers to find.
If you’re selling an unwanted gift, you can simply tag your item as an unwanted gift in the Sell process and it will automatically appear in searches for unwanted gifts. More...

Photos: General marketplace photo guidelines

For this reason we’ve developed some guidelines that we encourage sellers to follow in order to maximise your sales in Trade Me’s general marketplace.

Good news for renters & property managers
The Trade Me Property team has some good news for property managers and people who rent: we’ve signed an agreement to purchase Viewing Tracker, a small Wellington company that minimises hassles around making arrangements to view rental properties. The business has been going for 18 months and has one staff member, founder Aaron Clancy, who will join the Trade Me Property team later this month.
Our head of Trade Me Property Nigel Jeffries reckons Viewing Tracker is a clever product that clients love and he’s looking forward to getting it in front of taking it to a wider audience. "We want to increase the value we add and make the user experience on Trade Me Property better for both property managers and tenants."
